No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

We have very little reference material on NZ glass (other than Angela Bowey's book) so your blog will be a very useful and interesting resource. I'm having a browse through and there's some lovely glass shown. :thup:

I contributed a short historical section to the wonderful book published last year by the NZ Society of Artists in Glass New Zealand Glass Art. It also has essays by Grace Cochrane and technical whizz John Croucher, as well as a photographic survey of (most of) the best of current New Zealand glass practice.

As I noted, I am always happy to try to help out with questions about NZ glass.

Stuart has a new entry in his NZ Glass blog about former glassmaker-turned-actor, Greg Smith, and an earlier one about Avalon Glass, of which Greg Smith was a co-founder. http://newzealandglass.blogspot.co.uk/
